Skipper,? do you have the CPT?? It sounds like thats the sure way to go.? I have a three year lease on this car.? My next one will probably be a 550 and all these bugs will be worked out by then

The actual phone that I have (provided from the dealer) is a Motorola V60s (the s designator is for the CDMA Verizon phone) I think the V60 is essentially what BMW calls the CPT. It does have the BMW logo on the front but that is easily changed by buying a new face plate for $9.00.

I tried to hold out for the BT after getting this set-up I am happy I did for the reasons I mentioned above.

I broke down! I am scheduled for NOV1 to have the CPT 9000 installed. The first member (300TTto545) with a MY05 E60 and a Verizon V710 tried to get BT to work. No joy.

Between the wait for an 04 Retrofit and a compatible CDMA phone from Verizon, It will probably be a year before a BT solution will be available for me.

I ordered a couple of holsters for the V60 that do not stick out an inch. I'll dock the phone and be happy that its charging and using the Sharkfin antenna. I can see the signal strength on the I-drive screen for Assist which I hear is using Verizon. Its pretty good.
